BHow sessions work
Approach-driven online sessions and practical skills
Duncan often integrates client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work focuses on understanding the person’s experience and priorities so goals reflect what matters most. CBT helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep stress and anxiety in place and then practices new responses.Motivational interviewing is useful when someone wants to change habits or strengthen commitment. It uses focused conversation to uncover personal reasons for change and to build small, achievable steps toward those goals. These approaches are aimed at clear, manageable progress rather than abstract discussion.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Duncan will discuss options with each person and decide together which techniques fit the client’s goals and preferences. That collaboration includes trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on how it works in practice.
